A warehouse had a square floor with area 10,000 sq.meters. A rectangular addition was built along one entire side
of the warehouse that increased the floor by one-half as much as the original floor. How many meters did the
addition extend beyond the original buildings ?
(A)10 (B)20 (C)50 (D)200 (E)500

• Ans: (C)
  as L*B=10000 ie for square L=B=100m
  THEN,
  IF A RECTANGULAR ADDITIONALLY WAS BUILT ALONG ONE ENTIRE SIDE IT ENSURES THAT ONE SIDE MUST BE REMAIN SAME AS THE SQUARE
  HENCE EQUATION BECOMES
  (100+X)100=10000+(1/2)*10000
  (100+X)100=15000
  X=50

• square floor =10,000sq .meters
  lx b=means two sides are equal so l=100 and b =100 so 10,000
  one side increased by one half so any l or b 100.
  half of l are b are 50
  50 is answer
